February 2014 The Friends Of Urrbrae House - Page 1 - Newsletter February 2014 The Friends of Urrbrae House Urrbrae House, University of Adelaide, Waite Campus, PMB#1 GLEN OSMOND, SA 5064. Tel 8313 7497 Editor Vicki Cheshire An exciting year ahead at Urrbrae House Whilst Urrbrae House is closed for repairs at the moment work is still going on in the background. University Staff are hard at work in their offices and The Friends of Urrbrae House Committee is actively planning the year’s events and fundraising programs. We are liaising with the management at Urrbrae House, other Friends groups and Vivente Music to present you with a full and varied year ahead. Please keep an eye out for some interesting opportunities to support Urrbrae House and have some fun and entertainment with us this year. 2014 Membership forms are included with this newsletter, we hope you will continue as Friends of Urrbrae House and make your contribution promptly. We endeavour to keep the costs of functions as low as possible but expenses increasingly eat into our profits. Should you have friends or family who would like to also become members please ask for a form at the next event or they can be found online at: https://waite.adelaide.edu.au/urrbraehouse/friends/FOUH_Membership_Application_Form.pdf Apart from fulfilling our obligations to members and the interests of Urrbrae House, the FOUH committee is always looking to expand its membership. More members mean more people with an interest and love for this magnificent mansion that was built in 1891, the Waite Family’s legacy to the university of Adelaide and Dates for your diary Agricultural Science in Australia.

Unfortunately but not surprisingly, the extreme temperatures of the last month have caused some delays in the restoration work being undertaken. These delays may impact on how soon we can re-open the house to visitors but we are liaising closely with Campus Services to work around the various logistics as they arise. Restoration work on the northern side of Urrbrae House “Waste Not” Exhibition There will, however, be public access to Urrbrae House during the Basketry SA exhibition sponsored by the Friends of the Waite Arboretum which is being set up today as I write these musings. The “Waste Not” Exhibition, which opens on Saturday, 15 February and goes until Sunday, 23 February, is part of the Adelaide Fringe activities. The exhibition is open daily from 10.30am – 4.00pm and is free to the public. Come along and see some incredible artistry and unique creations. Baskets for sale during the "Waste Not" exhibition Waite Centenary Dinner The gardens of Urrbrae House were the perfect backdrop for the Vice-Chancellor’s Waite Centenary Dinner on 6 November last year. On a very warm evening over 180 guests celebrated the 100 th anniversary of Peter Waite’s decision to bequeath the Urrbrae estate to the University of Adelaide. Amongst the guests were Peter Waite’s great-grandchildren, James Morgan, Peter Morgan and Marion Wells. The keynote speaker was John Kerin, a major contributor to the state's agricultural industry while long-time supporter of Urrbrae House, Keith Conlon was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening.

History Month “Open Doors” during SA History Festival Urrbrae House will be open to the public to explore on Sunday, 4 May from 1.00pm-4.00pm as part of the “Open House Adelaide” weekend during the SA History Festival “About Time”. House maps will be available and Urrbrae House staff and volunteers will be on hand to answer questions. The University’s Plant Accelerator on the Waite Campus will be open on the same morning from 10am-1pm so visitors can explore both the past and the future of the campus in one day. We will have another “Open Door” afternoon at Urrbrae House on Sunday, 25 May from 1.00pm-4.00pm so that visitors who enjoy the house and gardens earlier in the month can encourage other family and friends to also visit. Continued… The Friends Of Urrbrae House - Page 3 - “The Waite: a social and scientific history of the Waite Agricultural Research Institute” – book launch As some Friends are aware, I have been writing a new history of the Waite Agricultural Research Institute which focuses on developments since 1975 while linking these developments into the earlier history of the Waite and the lives of the people who have worked on the campus. I’m pleased to say that the new book is currently with the printers and will be officially launched at Urrbrae House on 12 May. More information can be found at http://www.adelaide.edu.au/press/titles/waite/ A small organisational name change - University Engagement Branch: Stakeholder Relations Last year Urrbrae House, the Waite Arboretum and the Waite Conservation Reserve became part of the new University Engagement Branch in a section known as “Partnerships and Projects”. This week “Partnerships and Projects” had a name change and will be known as “Stakeholder Relations” in the future. Lynette Zeitz Friends Christmas Party It was good to see a large group of Friends of Urrbrae House, The Waite Arboretum and Waite Conservation Reserve join together on Monday evening 2nd December. Refreshments arranged by members of the Committees of FOUH and FWA were enjoyed. Joe Bennink (Manager of Community Engagement) was invited to speak Volunteer Kate Currier helping with a smile to the group and took the opportunity to congratulate the Friends groups on the broad range of functions and projects undertaken in 2013. He thanked those involved with these. We were sorry to learn that Joe would be retiring from the University in February. He introduced Leah Grantham who would be replacing him as well as Kate Robertson who had recently been appointed as Chief Engagement Officer for the University. The evening concluded with carol singing in the drawing room; Alison Stephenson playing the piano. Bill Wallace Swing into Christmas with the Solstice Singers On Friday evening 13 th December, 80 Friends and other guests enjoyed a unique pre-Christmas concert in the Ballroom of Urrbrae House by the Solstice Singers. The Solstice Singers, a group of eleven singers, are well known in Adelaide for their diverse repertoire in performances at a range of venues including Ayers House and a recent summer series of ‘Floating Melodies’ aboard Popeye on the River Torrens. Their Urrbrae House program that was titled ‘Swing into Christmas’ comprised an interesting selection of Carols, the background to each explained by the Ian Boath, Musical Director of the Singers. Those presented were delighted to join in the singing of four well-known Christmas Carols. Three young flautists: Anita Chaplin, Simone Koch, Cassandra Boath also took part in the program. Beautiful flower displays in the Ballroom, arranged by Allan Woodman, were much appreciated. Bill Wallace The Friends Of Urrbrae House - Page 4 - Department of Agricultural Biochemistry recalled Dr Vernon Butt, formerly of the University of Oxford, was delighted again to meet with Gladys Hogg on a recent visit. Gladys was the Secretary of the Department of Agricultural Biochemistry at the Waite Agricultural Research Institute and personal assistant to the Head, Professor D.J.D Nicholas from 1977 until 1990. Vernon, who is 91, first met Don Nicholas in 1940 at the University of Bristol when Don, as a student at Kings College, London, was transferred to Bristol because of the war. Vernon came to the Department of Agricultural Biochemistry on sabbatical in 1986. The following year Gladys arranged a work exchange at Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford. Since 1986, Vernon and his wife Glynne have made several more visits to Adelaide usually, as is the case this year, to coincide with the visit of the English cricket team. Vernon visited Gladys at Victor Harbor where she is leading a full life in her retirement including active participation in the University of the Third Age. Gladys was a member of the Committee of the Friends of Urrbrae House from 1994 – 2001 and President from 1998 – 2001. The book she published in 1991(updated 2004) on Peter Waite 1834-1922 ‘he story of his life and times’ is still well received by visitors to Urrbrae House. Bill Wallace Volunteer Profile – Anne Rabone Anne Rabone started volunteering at Urrbrae House after the program Delta Dogs, a dog safety program for children in schools, came to an end. Using the internet she found volunteering opportunities within the Urrbrae precinct. Her commitments since then have widened to include playing numerous parts in the schools’ program, joining the friends of Urrbrae House and becoming a member of the committee.

Adelaide, Sept. 21, 24, The estate of a deceased person included a small proportion of the issued 25; shares of a company which owned and operated four grazing properties. One Sydney, property had been and one was about to be converted from sheep to cattle, Nov. 5. and the other two were sheep stations. All were in semi-arid areas and sub- ject to special hazards. The company's shares were not quoted on a stock Kitto J. exchange. Held that in applying ordinary principles of valuation to the valuation of shares, it should be recognised that ordinarily a purchaser is likely to be influenced, as to price, mainly by his opinion concerning the dividends which the shares may reasonably be expected to produce. In the present case, having regard to the nature and characteristics of the company's business, a hypothetical purchaser buying at the date of death of the deceased would have looked for a high assets-backmg for the shares, as well as for a high average dividend arrived at after making substantial allowances for reserves. The selection of suitable test periods, and the adjustments to be made in using the company's accounts of the selected periods in order to estimate the profits which might have been regarded at the date of death as likely to be made by the company in the future, considered.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.

  • Rod Blackmore's
    Rod Blackmore’s AUSTRALASIAN THEATRE ORGANS New South Wales section Best known location: Penn Hughes residence Bexley Composite Christie/WurliTzer theatre organ 2 manuals (later 4 manuals) 16 ranks now substantially incorporated into the Capri theatre 4/29 theatre organ, Goodwood, Adelaide, South Australia Jack Penn Hughes originated from South Australia and was a professional theatre organist throughout the 1930s- 1940s until the late 1950s featuring at many organs reviewed in this series, particularly in Sydney but also in New Zealand. He was also known as the “singing organist”. His last theatre residence was at the Plaza theatre, Sydney. Despite his musical talents, many found him to be personally irascible, and in his dealings with redundant theatre organs he bordered on the unconscionable. In all some 12 organs were acquired by him and sold on to others, it being claimed that the purchasers did not always receive the organs they expected, Hughes having retained the best features for himself. He has also been identified in the late 1930s with involvement in the installation of instruments in theatres, eg the Astra theatre, Parramatta, and the Astra theatre, Drummoyne. In about 1957 Hughes bought the 2/10 Christie organ from the Empire (later St. James) theatre, Dunedin, New Zealand, and in 1959 he acquired the 2/8 WurliTzer organ (opus #748) previously in the Plaza theatre, Sydney. These two organs formed the basis of his residence organ, initially utilising the Empire Christie console. Later, Hughes acquired the 4 manual secondary console previously installed with the WurliTzer organ (opus #1987) of the State theatre, Melbourne, Victoria, and connected it to his residence organ.

  • Entertaining the Classes
    Entertaining the Classes An archaeological investigation of historic cinemas in Metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia, and their development in relation to social class, 1896-1949 Antoinette Hennessy This thesis is subitted as partial requirement for the degree in Master of Cultural Heritage Management, Department of Archaeology, Flinders University November 2013 Declaration I certify that this thesis does not incorporate, without acknowledgment, any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text. Name: Signature: Date: i Abstract This research analyses the influence of social class on the development of cinemas in metropolitan Adelaide during the period between 1908 to 1949 using a six-point business strategy (location, building, services, programming, airconditioning/ventilation and affordability), relating to the development of effective businesses. It assesses the validity of two competing theories of cinema histories, using a case study of metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia. The long-standing ‘embourgeoisement’ theory argued that cinemas and cinema- going underwent a gentrification process in which cinema proprietors gradually shifted their target demographic towards the wealthier middle classes, and made changes to venues according to middle class tastes and financial capabilities. During the 1970s, this position was questioned by proponents of the ‘revisionist’ theory, which argued that early film audiences were likely to be a mixture of class demographics, including the working, middle and wealthy classes. The results from this study largely supported the revisionist theory of early cinema development in Adelaide, South Australia.

  • If South Australia Must Import Her Names, Let Her Select Those Not Likely to Induce a Babel of Increased Confusion
    E If South Australia must import her names, let her select those not likely to induce a babel of increased confusion. (Register 16 July 1907, page 6h) Eagle Nest Hills - Near the Siccus River, named by E.C. Frome in 1843 because of an eagle nest found close to the summit, ‘comprised chiefly of slate of a reddish hue.’ It is not shown on contemporary maps and, in 1858, the surveyor Samuel Parry said it was ‘a pretty name and ought to be retained, but the hill being now known as “Mount Chambers”… I must, against my will, retain Chambers.’ Eagle on the Hill - In 1853, William Anderson was licensee of the ‘Anderson Hotel’ that was changed to its present name when the owner had a live eagle perched on a pole. Later, in 1883, it was described as ‘where a representative eagle-hawk, caged and contemplative, sits in solitary dignity, regretting some far-distant sheep run where he was wont to swoop upon the shepherd’s charge and make his meal of raw lamb chops’: The hotel was built by George Stevenson in 1850 and, in the first instance, was owned as an eating house by William Oliver. Its principal patrons were the first toilers of the hills - the bullock drivers. It was first licensed in 1852, the licensee being Mr. Gepp, the well known boniface of the Rock Tavern, near Grove Hill. Under Mr. Fordham’s proprietorship it was, in the first instance, christened ‘Anderson’s Inn’. Upon his death in 1864 when ‘his strength was completely exhausted by a carbuncle in the shoulder’, his wife and son carried on the proprietorship until December 1873.
